Bernie Sanders on Missing Kyrsten Sinema: ‘Not at All’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "Not at all."
(Laughter)
COLBERT: "She's a Democrat. Tell me why."
SANDERS: "I want to make the point. Way back when, I know it seems like a century ago, but in the midst of Covid three years ago, working with the president, we passed the American Rescue Plan which went a long way to take us out of the terrible economic down spin we were in and help us address the pandemic. What we understood is, that bill, which was really consequential, was an emergency bill. Economic downturn, Covid. We said, 'All right, let’s deal with the structural crises facing America, the housing crisis, the child care crisis, the health care crisis. We can do better for working people.' We worked with the president for something that we called Build Back Better. We had zero Republican support. We had 48 people in the Democratic caucus prepared to transform this country on behalf of the working class of America. Two people, Kyrsten Sinema being one and Joe Manchin being the other, refused to support us, we couldn’t pass it. So, no, I will not miss Senator Sinema."
